The Presidency has, on Thursday, blasted the Rivers state governor, Chibuike Amechi over the threat he made if the PDP rigs next year's election.
Mr. Amaechi had remarked at the APC Salvation Rally in Abuja that “if the 2015 elections are rigged, his party will not seek redress in court but would rather carry out what he called civil disobedience as well as form a parallel government.”
Doyin Okupe, speaking for the president, said that, if not for the diplomatic immunity Amaechi enjoys, ”the governor would have been in jail for his comments”.
“It is curious and unthinkable that a man who was himself a beneficiary of the court process would disdain the very platform through which he acquired the opportunity to make his reckless and provocative statement,” Mr. Okupe said.
“With statements like this it is clear that Amaechi is more of liability to his party than asset and has the potential to bring his party to further opprobrium and disrepute.
“For someone who aspires to become the Vice President of this country, his disdain for law and order is not only unfortunate but also patently dangerous and sends dark signals about the survival of our democracy.”
